Scope:

This part of IEC 61010 specifies safety requirements for hand-held and hand-manipulated probe assemblies for electrical test and measurement, and their related accessories. These probe assemblies are for non-contact or direct electrical connection between a part and electrical test and measurement equipment. They can be fixed to the equipment or be detachable accessories for the equipment.

 

This group safety publication focusing on safety essential requirements is primarily intended to be used as a product safety standard for the products mentioned in the scope, but is also intended to be used by technical committees in the preparation of publications for products similar to those mentioned in the scope of this group safety publication, in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and lSO/lEC Guide 51.

 

One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of basic safety publications and/or group safety publications in the preparation of its publications.

Project need:

The primary objective of the standard is to maintain alignment with international requirements addressed in IEC 61010-031:2022 Ed 3.0. This proposed New Edition is being developed at the request of the certification and testing bodies, and the industry. It will provide the industry with the latest electrical equipment (for measurement, control and laboratory use) safety testing requirements covered by IEC 61010-031: 2022 Ed 3.0.
